The original video is captured with a Sony Digital camera in MPEG format with 3.322MB. We then use Real Producer Basic 10 to compress the MPEG video into real movie format. On version we consider the audience who has slower link such as 56kpbs, Direction2EAS56k.rm (88KB). The other we consider the audience who has high speed DSL link (622KB).
If you do not have real player installed before, your browser will pop up a window and ask you to select the player applications from a list or from Internet.
You can download the real player from http://forms.real.com/netzip/arcade.html?h=software-dl.real.com&r=02e817bc77e7bc63e219&f=windows/RealPlayer10-5GOLD_bb.exe.The current version is version 10. The basic version is free.
If you prefer Media Player for playing the audio or video file formats such
as .wav, .mp3, .mpg, then during the installation of real player basic version
10, do not select it as a default player to play those file formats. Uncheck
all those selections. Real player will still register to the IE browser to play
back the .rm file format as default.
